I just post numbers and my opinion on both.  I’m not trying to rehabilitate anyone.    Regardless IU is heading away from those guys so brighter times for IU. 

That comment wasn’t really aimed at you. I just find picking through the smoldering wreckage of both their basketball careers to be a bit of an exercise in futility. We can all now be happy to be free of both.

Should we soon to retire this thread?

Yeah for me those numbers are always in my head.  Curse of doing bracketology for as long as I’ve done it.   Ius numbers over the year are always there.  I just try to give the view of the breakdowns from a bracketologist view instead of an IU fan.

And it's greatly appreciated by me

God, I’m in no mood to spend my day defending Woody because there’s way too much low hanging fruit to bash away on. But we gotta be accurate: 1) TJD wasn’t a great player when Woody got there. He was a very good high usage player whose motor ran hot and cold. Woodson made him a much better defender, a much better processor annd decision maker and got much better and more consistent effort out of him. Woody did an excellent job with him, as he did with Ware. 2) His 1st 2 teams didn’t underachieve hard. They appropriately achieved. Do people think his 1st team with scoring options 3 and 4 of Race Thompson and Parker Stewart was talented? Stop it. Making the tournament was a solid achievement. Year 2 team was 2nd in the conference and a 4 seed. They weren’t any better than that. The last 2 years have significantly underperformed tied to blind spots in Woody’s philosophy of roster construction and failure to adjust schemes to fit pieces. He 100% rates that @$$-whuppin’ and needed to go. He was a bad hire because even if he was successful he was never a long term answer and he arguably needed to go after last year and inarguably need to this year. But we don’t need to paint it as worse than it was or suggest that the guy got literally nothing right to justify it. 

Woodson didn’t do anything. TJD developed himself and woody benefitted.  Unless cigar fumes transformed TJD

I'd also put JHS in that same category... The only thing Woodson managed to develop was animosity and loathing among the fanbase.

I can’t believe we let him coach against Michigan. I think this has been handled very poorly. He should have been fired so we can get our guy to sign without making it awkward. 

In your scenario no coach currently leading a team would sign a contract prior to their season ending so I assume you are implying we actually are hiring the Masshole this time.

Correct?

If it Stevens I would expect to hear something sooner rather than later.  There is no reason for the Celtics to want him around if he has a foot out the door.

Completely agree. 

Extremely weak move by Mike, enabled by Quinn and allowed by Dolson. Clown show at the moment lol. New coach will change everything, just like football.

Yeah, Norlander and Parrish have always disliked Woodson. Norlander Is good at his job, and most of his takes are right on. (Including this one). Parrish is a sensitive Sally and doesn’t like the outspoken Indiana fanbase. Or Woodson.

Yeah, he got one thing wrong though.  Woodson isn't a grown man.  He's a petulant child.

I think, maybe for no other reason than ceremony, it should stay running until the moment retirement becomes the fact instead of the expectation.

He's basing that on the unfounded premise that Woodson is a grown man, not the man-sized child he actually is.

We definitely are the laughing stock of CBB!!!

[Hornsby 2,816]

Woodson went to two tournaments going 2-2. That’s miles better than anything lil’ Archie did. Woody is currently 3-4 against Purdue teams that were better than the Purdue teams Archie went 0-fer against. 
 
I’m shocked to find Archie defenders are still around. 

One while going 9-11 in conference. Woodson stinks

Think about this, If NIL and the transfer portal hadn’t come when it did, Woodson wouldn’t have a complete team at all.

He is so bad. Can't wait to hear this clown explain his 25 point loss on Tuesday. If he cared about his legacy he should never have taken this job. His legacy is now destroyed for good
